I found it interesting that *all*? cellular service on west maui died? Does every carrier single-home via waves served out of the Lahaina CO? Or maybe they aren't allowed to have generators in Maui? Seems like they would have diverse paths to major sites
--------------------------------------------------------------------------Many do mobile backhaul over various providers, including Hawaiian Telcom. We do that over MPLS. The Lahaina CO is an HT property and we maintain the stuff that kept it relatively safe; air handlers, filters, generators, battery banks, etc. All fiber was gone. The fire was intense due to the wind speed. There was a hurricane near the islands. Likely, even the cell towers were melted. I cannot speak to what the cell folks have in place. Last, it's an island and diverse paths are short in number.

(: But I wonder if those are different wifis. I'd imagine the focus now is plant poles, hang fiber and get the Access part of the network fully up before getting those up, if they're the same ones. scott
